LAFAYETTE, Feb. 20.-Dr. James Smith, OF
Brookston, owns horse that was once con-
sidered valuable, but which is now minus a
tongue and is of correspoDdIngly less value.
The animal was i'll and the doctor tried to adj
minister some medicine. The horse was 0S-
durate and a block was placed In his mouth.
When the medicine began to be felt the
horse expelled the block and in the effort
amputated his tongue.

Over the Presidential Veto.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2I.-The veto of the
disability pension bill is exciting much COM
ment since the reading of the report of the
committee on Saturday. The pressure of
the Democratic members OF the North to
vote for the bill over the Presidents veto is
enormous, and a number are weakening
under it. Last week nobody thought but
the bill would fail to pass over the veto, but
the report of the committee, the resolution
portunity of the Invalid Pension Committee
among the members of the House has made
a marked change in the sentiments of Con-
gressmen. Still the bill will probably fail.
The number voting on Thursday will prob
ably be 294; this will require 1876 votes to
carry the bill. Mr.. wilkins, of Ohio, can
vassed the House to-day and says it will re-
ceive 175 votes. At all events if the bill
should pass the House it will surely fail in
the Senate.

Mrs. Langtry has come and gone.
Council Bluffs curiosity was on tip Toe,
for this was the first opportunity given
here of seeing this woman OF familiar
name. During her stay she occupied her
own boudoir car. the "Mayflower," which
stood upon sidetrack near the Broad.
way depot During the afternoon she
drove about the city in company with a
member of the company, and then re-.
tired to the privacy of her car. In the
evening she was greeted by one OF the
largest and most brilliant gatherings ever
assembled in the opera house. The house
was crowded. That the great incentive
of those present was to see the woman of
whom so much has been written was evil
dent. There was none of that enthusiasm
manifest which is expressive of ad,
miration or Of championship. The audi.
ence sat rather in wonder watching every
move, and weighing in their own judg-
ment the woman, physically and artistl-
cally. She was welcomed by only rip
pie OF applause, and at no time after did
any of her acting call forth much more
distinct expression of eve n approval.
Throughout the evening there was no
such outburst from the audience as that
which gave expression to their i'm
patience at the long and tedious wait be-
tween the second and closing acts Her
support proved to be we'll equipped, and
some of them won perhaps a greater
amount of applause than did Mrs. Lang
try. She was eyed eagerly, and many
opinions were overheard, there seeming
a unanimity in the delight at watching
her beauty, figure and grace of move
ment, disappointment at her facial
features and a feeling that her acting
was not so bad as her critics would make
the world believe. Council Bluffs feels
gratitied at having had its curiosity salts.

The Brutal Assault.

The Wyckhoff girl was reported yes
terday as being still confined to her bed
by the injuries received in the brutal
assault made upon her by Dan Griffin
Two physicians were present and made
an examination. Griffin denies that he
is guilty. and there are many who be-
lieve him innocent of the crime charged.
He does not deny that he went with the
girl, but says that her injuries were
caused by her slipping, and falling in
some way, purely accidental. He brought
the girl home, and did not seek to escape.
The girl was very reticent to the officers
yesterday. and seemed inclined to shield
the man who IS charged by the family
with the assault.

Squire Burke-"The BEE is somewhat
in error iu picturing the causes of delays
in the abating OF nuisances. II isn't the
fault of the law. The law is very simple
and very strong. The trouble is with the
execution. Under the present law the
mayor and one alderman, or two alder.
men, can decide that anything is nuis-
ance, and can order the marshal to notify
the person maintaining the nuisance. and
If 1t is not abated within three days the
marsha's business Is to abate it himself,
and at the next meeting of the board of
health present the bill showing the cost
of dong so. This cost is then certified up
by the board of health, and IS put on tine
tax books against the property owner.
There is no evading it, and no delays are
necessary. Those who have the execu-
tion of the law in hand can easily sup

In this city by Officers Unthank and

Captain Messcmer denies the statement
published in last evenings World to the
effect that he recommended Il, g. Carbee
to the Fifth regiment band, there being
no foundation in the least for such a
statement.
The Northwestern band is still staying
at Lake Manawa. Parties who desire to

A warrant was issued yesterday after
noon for the arrest of Captain Swobe,
conductor of the ferry train. The charge
made Is that he assaulted boy, John
Callahan, who drives for j. Y. Fuller. 1t
Is claimed that the assault was unpro-
voked, the only excuse being that the boy
did not move his team just in the SPOT d.
rected by the conductor.
There has been some hunting up of the
record of Dell Perkins, who had leg cut
off by a Northwestern train, and who
raised so much trouble about the manner
In which he was cared for here. Letters
form officials In Virginia, his old home,
state that an indictment was found
against him there for shooting at some
man, but the authorities did not want
him back. All they wanted was for him
to keep away.
One amusing incident occurred at
marriage at the Creston house parlors
recently. When the justice asked the
happy man the legal question as to
whether he had been married before, he
admitted that this was his second mar.
raige. The bride spanked up and up
braided him for not having told her so.
A moment later the same question was
asked the woman, and she was obliged
to admit that she too had been through
the same ceremony once in her life. 1t

Three Hundred Pounds Of Drunk.

Three Hundred Pounds OF Drunk.
John Hitchcock, who lives short dis
tance out on the Northwestern railway,
has been spending several days in the
city, most of the time riding the patrol
wagon. The first time he was picked up,
he was very drunk. AS he weighs 27S
pounds, it was no easy task to load him.
Deputy Marshal White could not even
roll him over. 1t is no easy task to
handle 27S pounds of flesh when we'll
soaked with whisky, but by the aid of
others the prisoner was safely put IN the
cooler. When sobered enough to walk
straight. he was allowed to 90. depositing
his watch for his appearance the next
morning at court. When his case was
called he was not on hand. Marshal
Guanella started out with the
patrol wagon to find him, and
discovered him braclng up a lamp
post on Broadway. He wasn't so drunk
this time that he couldn't resist. When
the officers attempted to put him through
the door of the cooler, he braced himself,
spreading out his arms, and as it was a
tight squeeze to get HIM through when
packed close, it looked like a useless
task. The marshal suddenly struck down
his arms, and the officer behind ut the
same time gave push. and Hitchcock
went with tumble over on to the floor
and lay there rolling like great pump
kin, his feet and hands not being able TO
touch the floor. He commenced crying,
This amt fair boys" and the key was
turned, locking him in with his tears.

The Beat Of the Drum Major

The man with the gorgeous uniform,
who marched SO proudly at tho head of
the Fifth regiment band, twirling his
drum majors stick and wiping the sweat
from under his bearskin hat, had his
glory suddenly darkened. He came here
a few months ago as Sergeant H. d.
Carbee. who had served eight years in
the regular army, and was military ex-
pert. He was, according to his own tale.
and cOrroborated to some extent by his
actions. a thorough military man,
versed in drilling men, and il there was
any one thing which he prided himself
on 1t was grace and efficiency as a
drum major. He secured employment as
foreman In the yards OF the Union Lum-
Der company, and when the Fifth regi-
ment band was organized became so
interested in II as to neglect bis other
business. He was enthusiastic and espec.
tally in sounding his own praise. His
egOtism was overlooked somewhat on
hat and baton were rendered him. He
accepted it eagerly, and to his credit be
it said that he did some excellent work
In drilling the band in street marching.
He was enthusiastic in helping along
several enterprises for the benefit OF the
band. The recent concert was largely
due to him. He got up the printed pro-
gramme, canvassed among the mer-
chants for advertisements for its pages,
attended to collections, etc. He ar.
ranged for another concert to be given
at the lake next Tuesday evening, and
began soliciting aid for that. He was
quite ofiicious, and started this scheme
without any authority from the business
manager OF the band and without there
being any formal meeting TO endorse his

The much talked of crossing question

involved in the crossing difficulties were

Last evening Mr.. Graves stated that
the road would be in operation as
soon as possible. He said: ''The cross
ings and curves will arrive now Just as
fast as they can be made to. The right
angles are IN stock, but the others will
have to be made. The details were ar.
ranged week ago, but only settled this
morning. We will cross the Rock Island
